Head of the National Delegation said on Tuesday that the arrival of medicine, food and fuel to the Yemeni people is a guaranteed right, unconditional.
Abdusalam said in a tweet, “allowing fuel ship to reach Yemeni ports, from time to time, is for publicity against the Yemeni people. Describing it as an achievement, despite all violations, is an unparalleled absurdity.”
He added, “The access of medicine, food and fuel to the Yemeni people, nor restriction or condition and in all circumstances, is a guaranteed right with.”
Since the beginning of 2020, the coalition tended to bet on the economic side in pressuring the Political Council and the Salvation Government to surrender, by tightening the blockade and restricting the payment of basic food and medical commodities as well as fuel.
International humanitarian law and international criminal law are classifying “any threat to the lives of civilians or the basic necessities of life for them as a war crime”, which the coalition exercises by restricting the flow of food, medicine and fuel ships.
Six years into the aggression, more than half of Yemen’s population of 30 million now face varying levels of food insecurity, with three million children suffering from acute malnutrition.
Earlier this month, the head of the National Delegation said any call for an end to the years-long Saudi-led aggression is insincere as long as the crippling Saudi blockade against the country persists.
“We do not consider any call for peace serious unless it includes the complete lifting of the blockade. However, we have not yet noticed any seriousness to stop the aggression,”
Abdulsalam said in a tweet on April 16.“
The calls for peace issued by some international bodies reveal a selective perception of peace by granting it to the countries of aggression and preventing it from Yemen, while peace is either for all or there is no peace,” he added.
Abdusalam has commented earlier about the peace process indicating that the continuation of the aggression and siege is painful, Abdulsalam said. “But we have no choice but to confront the US-Saudi aggression.”
The Ministry of Human Rights has confirmed that the comprehensive siege on the Yemeni people crossed all limits in a dangerous way for civilians and the graphical indicator of the number of victims is still remarkably high.
The ministry indicated in a statement that the persistence of the US-Saudi aggression in its siege and detention of fuel tankers for more than a year showed an indication of a new famine that will kill children, women and the elderly in various governorates.
